Andrew Miller may be number one on the MLB’s Ten Most Wanted List this trade deadline season.
According to a report by Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports on Monday, the Cleveland Indians, a team very much in need of lefty relief help, may have Miller as their top trade target.
Gimenez is favorite of #Indians’ pitchers, and has connected with Bauer. Team’s No. 1 need is LHR, and #Yankees’ Miller probably top target.

Miller, 31, has also drawn widespread interest from a series of other contenders. He has been nothing short of dominant for the Yankees this season, making the AL All-Star team with a 5-1 record, a 1.34 ERA, a 0.72 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts in 39 relief appearances.
With the Bronx Bombers, a 45-46 team on the year, appearing to be teetering on the brink of wholesale mode, the Indians, a club with ample prospects to offer, could be a beneficiary. Their righty-dominant pen just lost one key member to a strange injury, so the addition of a game-changing southpaw like Miller could really send the entire team over the top as they look to hold on to their commanding AL Central lead.
